Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → C, E, A, D, B
(C) Sameer is regular with the consumption of alcohol. — people who abuse alcohol first drink large amounts regularly and rely on it to face difficult situations.
(E) His ability to think and work has been affected — eventually the drinking interferes with their social behaviour and ability to think and work.
(A) Sameer’s body has built up a tolerance for alcohol. — then the body builds up a tolerance, and greater amounts are needed to feel its effects.
(D) Sameer has stopped drinking after joining “Alcoholics Anonymous”. — the drinking stops; this has to come before the withdrawal, because withdrawal responses appear when a person stops drinking.
(B) Sameer has started experiencing withdrawal reaction. — people dependent on alcohol experience withdrawal responses when they stop drinking, so this comes last.
NCERT (2025-26): “Alcohol … People who abuse alcohol drink large amounts regularly and rely on it to help them face difficult situations. Eventually the drinking interferes with their social behaviour and ability to think and work. Their bodies then build up a tolerance for alcohol and they need to drink even greater amounts to feel its effects. They also experience withdrawal responses when they stop drinking.…” |
